Ah ok I did wonder why OP created a brand new account just to ask this question
.
Its not uncommon for peopel to make a new account just to ask for help. What struck me as odd however was when they didnt know how to unlock the wallet, but in the OP said
made a note of my private key
Sorry I meant I had one from a while ago. Is there no way to recover the coins? And I never had a password in the first place it is my wallet
